Abstract

In this paper, we describe the formatting guidelines for ACM SIG Proceedings. Recently time division duplex based wireless mesh networks (TDD-based WMNs) are emerging as a crucial technology for wireless multihop networks and broadband wireless access (BWA). Supporting real-time traffic in TDD-based WMNs is difficult and one of the main challenges is to provide strict end-to-end time delay guarantee from source node to destination node. In this paper, the cross-layer framework is proposed considering routing schemes, queueing model and resource scheduling schemes. Furthermore, an end-to-end realtime traffic scheduling algorithm is proposed. In the algorithm, a number of control slots are reserved for transmitting real-time routing messages to guarantee delay requirements while data reservation is fulfilled during the process of routing path discovery. Numerical results show that the proposed scheduling algorithm achieves low time delay and can satisfy real-time delay requirements.
